I Can Quit Any Time

I have a new addiction and it is brutal. I think, in the past week and a half, I've rented just about the entire first season of this show. I'd. like to come up with some smart, intellectual theory of how criminal forensic science relates to depression as an excuse to why I crave this show but I can't. Sorry. Maybe my insatiable need to figure out the "why" of depression somehow ties into the science fanatics on this show, but I'll figure it all out later. I've got two episodes left on the DVD I rented.

I will say that I am fully aware that some or all of the show glamorizes criminal forensics to the nth degree. Not that I really care when they manage to pull DNA out of a fragment of a fingernail left in the groove of a 9mm grip. Schweet.

Careful.....It's Addictive.

The Panda Cam that is. But it is excellent stuff if you're feeling down, or angry, or if your boss has just yelled at you for no particular reason. Just don't say I told you so if you get caught watching the panda cub roll around while taking a nap.

I am a Japanese School Teacher

I'm not, really, but someone else is and they've decided to post all about it. After reading The Cow's Worst Enemy and Japanese Kids Say The Darndest Things, this now goes straight to the top of my Things To Read When I Desperately Need To Stave Off Depression
